Pictures from the Ramp (October)

N519AT

Ahh! This is how I change this!
Here are some pictures from the past month plus a few from September. As always, I do this as a hobby and I may miss some dust spots/water spots/ etc. while touching up the pictures. For that I apologize in advance, but here are the pictures:

Convair with the old Dart engines. These things are ridiculously LOUD. They did a GPU start and I started to contemplate whether or not I was going to burn to death while pulling the plug.

An Australian "Challenger 850." Blah. To me, it's still a CRJ. Talking to the pilots they said that it's still a dog. They were flying it to somewhere on the east coast to trade it in on a new Global.

This is one of the shots that I've got to say that I'm most proud of. I touched it up to the best of my ability in photoshop. It's the International Space Station in an exposure shot crossing from NW to NNE this past Monday morning.

That Challenger 850 CRJ was at IAD last time I was there. The crew seemed to be pretty upbeat for having been on the road for 2 months. The dumb blond CSR was sure they had arrived from Australia that day, and were just making a tech stop before heading to the west coast.

Great shots again. The Piaggio, ERJ and Saab detail shots are my favorite. You try shooting any in manual?
 
Amazing shots! Lots of different planes there. The space station is really nice, how long was the exposure? What did you use Photoshop for?
 
Thanks for all the compliments.

Yeah, they were quite cheery with us too. Especially the smaller older guy. He was awesome. Really brightened up my day.

All programmed auto, except for any long exposure shots. I'm too lazy for manual all the way. I did that when I first started shooting. Only because I had an old 1960s telephoto that was my primary lens and didn't interact with the Nikon at all.

It was a 39 second exposure. I used bulb mode on the camera to accomplish that.

I used Photoshop to just touch it up. I messed around with the brightness/contrast and sharpened it. I also got rid of some dust spots.
 
Sick pictures man. I've always wanted to climb all over one of those Piaggio's, just to check it out. Sadly, the FBO that I worked line at, never got them in. Hear them all the time when I'm in Sarasota though. Awesome plane.
 
Great Pics, excellent quality. I'm sure you get asked this a lot but what type of Nikon and lenses are you using?
